The Conference was a Success!

After months of planning, the conference is over. About 100 counselors from the CNY area showed up. The workshops were good, the food was terrific, and people have told me they are ready for next year's conference. Yeah!!

So, now that's its over I have more time to do some stamping.

Here's a little card I did this weekend. . .

Stamps: Ginormous Flowers, Wonderful Words, Boho Wheel

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Cameo Coral, Soft Sky

Earth Elements Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

TTFN (As Tigger would say. . .) Ta-Ta For Now. . .

I need a break from Conference Planning!!!!

I have been planning a conference for all of the Guidance Counselors in the Central New York area since November. Over 300 invitations have been sent out and we are now the day before the big event. I have been staring hard at the computer making sure I get the last pieces of the program put together. This is my first attempt at planning an event this big, and I think it is going to go over really well. I can't wait for this to be over, though, . . .because I'd rather be staring at my stamps and paper!

For this little card, I used my Double Rectangle Punch for the ribbon placement. The stems on the flower stamp are close together and fit perfectly between the two rectangles on the punch. It makes it look as if the ribbon is holding the flowers on the card (even though there is a little glue holding them in place.

Wish me luck on everything tomorrow. Did I also tell you I'm a presenter!

Spring Perhaps?

What's to Celebrate?


Well all the ice and snow that we got this weekend, seems to be disappearing. I see mostly grass from my window this morning. It's amazing how you miss it when by the end of the summer you are complaining after mowing it for the 14ooth time!

Samples, Samples, and More Samples

I looked at my site today and thought, "I need some new pictures!!!" So here are some of the latest cards that I putogether with a few friends the other day. Once again my upline, Pam, also came up with some great ideas.

We used the Spring Whimsy Stamp set on this along with a stamp-a-ma-jig. Those things are awesome! I know I found a tutorial on using them before. I will look again this weekend and try to post it on Monday.

Here's another using the Birthday Whimsy Sale-A-Bration set. Hello is done with rub ons. Doesn't it look classy!

And lastly, this cute little tea bag holder.

Valentine's Day Card Project

Over the past couple of weeks we (a group of my coworkers and stamping friends) decided it would be fun to offer a couple of classes in card-making and stamping after school to our kids. Boy were we surprised when we had a class of kids stay after with us to make some cards. We showed them some basics, and they were off and running. . .or stamping, I guess you could really say.

Here are a couple of the cards I made that we used as samples for our class.
